C8: Late to the Party
couldn't help but curse. The bolt of lightning that struck the original Shang Xia caused the inner qi in his body to go on a rampage; if he failed to condense the wild energy running through his body, his fate was sealed. He, who had just reincarnated, was going to die immediately!
As the knowledge and experience of the original Shang Xia's soul merged into his own, he realized that there was absolutely nothing he could do! At the last moment, Shang Xia discovered a blood red tablet in his sea of consciousness. There seemed to be a diagram of a golden finger on it, and without any choice, Shang Xia focused all his energy on the object.
Since he was going to die anyway, there was no harm in trying out anything that might work.
The instant his consciousness touched the blood red tablet, his body started to tremble and a weird sensation filled his mind.
A wave of comfort washed over his soul, and he noticed something peculiar about the blood red tablet. It had expanded to the size of a giant mountain, and there was something poking out from the bottom of it.
Wasn't that the ancient weapon he bought in the antique market back in the world he came from?!
How in the world did it appear in the giant tablet?!
Shang Xia eventually discovered that the ancient weapon he had bought previously wasn't as massive as it looked. Instead, his soul was comparable to a grain of sand as he stood before it!
As the tablet shook lightly, a row of words appeared on its surface.
Martial Intent: Chaos Essence Lightning Palm.
Secret Art: Chaos Essence Manual
Martial Arts Required: Chaos Essence Palm, Lightning Palm.
Three massive rows of words appeared on the surface of the tablet.
However, Shang Xia noticed that that wasn't all. He turned the tablet over to the side, only to see another three rows of words recorded on its right face.

Turning it again, Shang Xia noticed something different recorded on the third face of the tablet.
Secret Art: None
Looking at the final face of the tablet, Shang Xia gasped in shock.
Success Rate: 35%
When he looked through all four faces of the tablet, Shang Xia seemed to understand what it was trying to describe.
It was no wonder the original Shang Xia's inner qi went wild. He had only comprehended 35 percent of the Chaos Essence Lightning Palm!
However, Shang Xia didn't have the luxury of caring about the success rate. The only thing he needed to do now was to save himself!
He didn't want to die the moment he appeared in this world!
As though the tablet knew what he was thinking about, the words on its surfaces started to change once again.

Success Rate: 45-65%
After reading through the words on the tablet, despair filled Shang Xia's heart.
He urgently needed a way to calm down his raging inner qi, but the tablet seemed to be giving him an upgraded form of the Chaos Essence Lightning Palm!
Even though it was an impressive upgrade to the martial intent, he had no use for it if he died right there and then! Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
As he continued to think about ways to save himself, the words on the tablet changed once again. It returned to its original form.

slowly started to subside. As his thoughts started to clear, Shang Xia felt his body recovering.
The success rate reached the threshold of 65 percent, and it seemed as though it was the maximum amount reachable by the original Shang Xia's cultivation technique.
When he was done, Shang Xia realized that he had used up every single treasure the original owner of the body prepared.
Using the techniques contained in the Chaos Essence Manual, Shang Xia could only continue to circulate his inner qi to consolidate his foundations.
